COLOR VERSION: The exciting travels during a 35-year career of a Ship’s Marine Surveyor, running his own business, A3Pi Services, for over 30 years, traveling nearly 60 countries to investigate maritime casualties, inspecting cruise ships, tankers and other vessels, in exotic locations, such as Yap, Kwajalein, Dubai, Singapore, Peru, Samoa, Trinidad, and other places too numerous to mention here. His descriptions are not just travelogues, but insights into the cultures of the people, personal relationships, and criticisms when warranted. Advice for travelers is offered, and how to avoid the “Ugly American” image when traveling abroad. Bob is a graduate Naval Architect that decided sitting behind a desk, designing ships, did not satisfy him. He took a Field Surveyor’s job to train with a large worldwide ship inspection company, but decided to start his own business, traveling the world. His writing style is practical and down to earth, giving good definitions of the technical aspects of the stories, when that is needed. Bob spent 10-years auditing tankers and cruise ships for Environmental Compliance, training and advising ship crews how to stay out of trouble. The book will be interesting for both Maritime professionals as well as those with no maritime background. Over 300 color included, showing not only the exotic destinations, but the working conditions in which Bob Ojala worked. Tanker explosions, fishing vessel damages, cruise ships, and the Panama Canal, just to mention a few.
